Browser-based OAuth login does not work inside the VNC session because
the OAuth redirect callback cannot reach back into the container. The
solution is to set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the Kubernetes secret — when
this env var is present, Claude Code skips browser auth entirely.
Changes:
- init-repo.sh: warn clearly at startup if ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is unset
- values.yaml: document ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the envSecretName comment
- VARIABLES.md: add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY entry and update secret template
